ABOUT ME
🙋‍♀️ I’m Maria, an Engineering Manager at a big tech company and I’ve been coding since I was 13 years old. I love working in tech because building new things and being creative is something that makes me really happy. While on this journey, I realized how lots of questions I receive in 1:1s get repeated a lot so I decided to upload short and simple Q&A videos on TikTok which grew to a small amount of followers. For some questions, I wanted to dive deeper with longer answers which is how this channel started. Thanks for being here – my goal is to help some people out and make their lives at tech jobs more effective.

For the MacBook Set-Up video: what do you want to see the most? I'm adding basic settings, productivity tools and software I use the most!

[burntwixxs]

What I like the most about this video is the fact that you clearly are not a computer freak who only talks about numbers etc. You just speak about the pure use case of this machine. Thus, it makes your feedback so much more reliable and valuable. Very nice video quality btw!

Congrats on the upgrade! It's amazing how long Macbook Pros can last, I kept my MacBook around for a decade before upgrading to the 2019 MacBook. I have a touchbar and never use it either, only times I really used it was to skip through ads haha. Enjoy! 🎉

I get my 14” with 1tb/32gb this Saturday…. my first upgrade since my 2015 27” iMac! 😅 I can’t wait! 🎉

[ibrkmr]

I can feel the excitement. Congrats for your new machine. 😊

[omarh]

The videos quality are exponentially growing, it's absolutely fascinating. Congrats on that and congrats on the laptop. I am expecting to get the 16 inch pro max soon (from my company) and I am so excited for it

[cintakate]

Just bought my mac pro 14 after watching this video! Thanks it was very helpful in my decision! :)

[imbes]

Great reception on this video! Channel is growing nicely!

Consistency has been off the charts and the vids keep getting better and better with each upload, almost at 2k as well I see u 👀

Hello, I loved your channel, explain clearly about the computer, you have a new subscriber !!!🫶

[PlatePursuits]

Would love to see you cover virtualization and emulation using the M2. I.E. UTM, parallels, nested virtualization, etc.

[Yurro]

Wooo the M2 looks so exciting! I recently got the chance to use the 14" M1 for a while and it's crazy how silent and powerful they are

[truebro]

Your accent ♥.. And your excitement 😂 so funny. Is this 16gb ram and 512ssd storage? That's what I'm picking up tomorrow and worried about lightroom. Any experience?

[ivandubinsky]

You'll love it. I have the M1 Pro version and it's, by far, the best laptop I've ever owned.

[breezefps]

The quality of your videos are insane! Congrats for the awesome content!

[margaretestherb]

I just got mine yesterday, it’s sooo good 🤩🤩

[gwaddles]

Great video. Excellent lighting, audio and angles

[jathebest]

Apple's innovative silicon chip performs great, doesn't it?😄Not hearing a fanning sound is awesome, but I've once experienced heating on the back. I checked Activity Monitor and found one thing taking up a high CPU. Then I terminated it and became normal. Anyway, your unboxing makes me feel happy because I also greeted and welcomed my Macbook so much. I even talked to it like "Welcome to the world! This is your home, baby. You're gonna do a of things along with me!" lol

How did you copy/move your old laptop to this new one?
